IIS and Microsoft indexing facility - how do I get a search working?

When I inherited a a website I also got some very randem code which USED to allow me to search teh site. But on placing this on a new server typically the search doesn't work and I know have to figure what was done.

I then have a query_ds.htx file and a search_stn.html file and loads more.

So does anyone recognise this as a certain type of code? can anyone point me in the right direction of what I 'should' be doing. I have no problem ditching this code and writing something new. As long as it uses the index facility as detailed above.

I can write this in PHP and create an indexed table BUT as the website isn't in a dB as yet that would be a lot of work but if that is what I need to do then fine.
